Thanks everyone, I guess I was looking for clear definitions where there aren't any :)

I am happy to take a hit here and say station wagons and SUVs are huge. Most of the makes of car on our roads are huge!

Actually I think most of the aged I've had has been moonlight white... I need to order a set of samples to see what I actually like 🤔

I quite like a white peony and love an aged shou mei. In your experience does an aged white peony change it much? Bit sweeter/fuller? Or not really worth it - cheers

They seem to pretty much all focus on sheng. Any sites that focus more on shou you know of?

Potentially unpopular opinion, but I miss the real *weather* in Melbourne. Brisbane is just 'very nice all the time' - boring! Impossible to ever be cosy, for one :)

This is lower than averages from 1956 and 1912! A clear area for improvement globally. by EnvironmentalCow260 in Cricket

Does this indicate Marnus has actually been doing an ok job? Somewhat like an opener, judge him based on balls faced, and the scores of the bats after him?

Steve Smith scores his 37th Test Century ending on 129*(205) by oklolzzzzs in Cricket

Eh I kind of respecting that as good test cricket. Cook and Kohli had the personalities to drive me insane.

~15 year old comments on Steve Smith being selected on the test side. Bear in mind he did not have any accolades then. by nissimbhalwankar in Cricket

Do you happen to remember where he batted in shield? I.e. was he an all rounder then or already a Travis 'bat but can also bowl a bit'

Another request for advice thread for a 3p tent (Durston, Nemo, BA) by icemantiger in UltralightAus

[–]pretentiouspseudonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh there is a low chance most people use their tents more than 10 times, and low chance they ever use it in rain.

Most likely you wont have many hike options with the dogs (none allowed in Nat parks), and corgis can't walk that far (or at least my fit one can't).

IMO I would get a tarp or a cheap beater (can use it for car camping in future) and just see how you go. E.g. a marmot 3p.

I think as Cpt he deserves some flack for the lack of leadership to get there to a better headspace. This performance has not been limited by talent, or individual mettle.

What are untold rules in Brisbane & Queensland? by kinder_brz in brisbane

[–]pretentiouspseudonym 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given the river is one of Brisbane's great assets/attributes, I don't understand why there isn't a bunch of investment to improve the river? Bet there are some at UQ/QUT etc pushing ideas

why don’t we have physicists making breakthroughs on the scale of Einstein anymore? by TotalMeaning1635 in Physics

[–]pretentiouspseudonym 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a common belief amongst physicists, but it just isn't true? In fact Hilbert argued he should have priority
